How to access

To take the personal preparation assessment, you must complete the pre-registration procedure in order to be included in the list of students who must take the test.

Note:Pre-registration and the personal preparation assessment are free of charge. Payment of the registration fee and regional fee is only required upon confirmation of enrolment.

How it works

The test will be conducted through a written test with open questions, aimed at:

  • demonstrate the ability to communicate in English clearly and spontaneously, with sufficient detail and fluency;
  • evaluate the candidate's personal preparation in the fields of economics, mathematics and statistics.
     

Candidates who are also required to test their knowledge of English will, immediately after the written test, take part in an interview consisting of reading, translating and discussing a text relating to one of the subjects covered in the written test.
Candidates are required to have a knowledge of the main topics covered in the introductory economics courses, including basic mathematics, statistics and microeconomics.
Candidates with significant deficiencies will be considered unsuitable. However, those found to be ineligible may retake the test as many times as necessary until they pass.
